Book Comporta Bliss

Sometimes compared to Brigitte Bardot's Saint-Tropez in the 1950s, Comporta, with its laid-back pace and artistic community, is the ideal Portuguese destination for those looking to get away from it all. It's the new home of celebrities such as Jacques Grange, Farida Khelfa, François Dumas, the Espírito Santo family and Madonna, who shares photos of her children at the beach or her horseback riding in the dunes of Carvalhal. This fishing village has stretches of beach, patchworks of rice paddies and an ecosystem full of storks and frogs, all in a serene setting for the impressive houses here: rustic shacks and thatched huts reflecting the carefree lifestyle that has become Comporta's trademark. This distinctive setting challenges architects and designers, creating unique spaces that delightfully blur the line between indoors and outdoors.

This book fromAssouline entitled Comporta Bliss transports us through its pages to the region's characteristic cobalt blue, which is reflected in the sky and sea, to the walls, shutters and design pieces that adorn its quaint and bold homes. Discover the beauty and joy of simplicity with Comporta Bliss.
